RE: More shooting time wanted



Buy a target and shoot at home, then you can shoot all you want.# No distance = no problem.</p>

When I was shooting indoors in 1998 (recurve), I was training at home, in fact in the bedroom (no comment ) I had the target set at one corner of the bed, I stood across the bed just far enough away so the long rod cleared it on release, I spent all indoor season shooting like this, under the feeling that the arrow doesn't know how far it has to travel until it stops, so I made sure I was making good strong shots.# That year was my best indoor season ever, FITA 18 average was 575, with many in the 580's.</p>

This year I'm training outside at home (30m) and just making good shots, I use archers advantage and a chronograph to give me sight marks, so far this year I have shot two record status shoots, set one national record and equalled the other and the weather wasn't as good as I'd have liked.</p>

So shooting/training etc doesn't have to be at set distances, its all about making a shot not how far away you are shooting.# Just my take on this </p>
